Angus MacDougall is a three-year-old terrier mix that has recently been blessed with the revered and holy image of Jesus Christ on his hindquarters. Is this manifestation of The Prince of Peace a coincidence or a bona fide miracle? One thing is for certain, this apparition of the Son of God is sure to inspire controversy. Not much if any true scientific or theological inquiry has been made into the nature of this sign to date, but "seeing is believing" as little Angus' terrier-tush is obviously marked by the likeness of Christ.

The clever aetheist who pasted in a shimmering in-n-out, purported image of the Christ seems to have developed - instead - an emaciated Shoko Asahara of Aum Shinrikyo. I'm not much convinced it is, in fact, a likeness of the Son, but the specter of a sickly Asahara awaiting the death penalty in a Japanese jail cell. Whatever else it is besides, it is dumber than shit.

Love the comments on this one they are funnier than the pic glad to see there's unity in humour those who can't laugh because of their fanatical fundamentalism uuuurgh get off our planet now!!! Christians you good people nice to see you too can have a giggle. Not like those who couldn’t take a silly cartoon in Denmark!!

All of the sane Christians should instantly denounce any "image of Christ" stories. He doesn't appear on your toast, ok? You are not special. I don't care how you squint your eyes, it's still an oily patch.

I think even god would get a good chuckle from this =) just silly stuff to get the fanatics up in a roar... OooOoO can't have such shame be brought on the son, he'll smite you for looking at a dogs ass and giggling.

I think YOU are an uneducated fool who doen't know anything about grammar, but that doesn't matter.More importantly, there's no such thing as a Radical Catholic (aka Catholic Extremist). Radicalism or extremism aren't part of Catholicism, so if you're either of those, you're not really a Catholic, are you?

how is the image of some religion's prophet being found ON AN OVERCOOKED GRILLED CHEESE acceptable but this is deemed insulting?lighten up, christians. you're all wrong anyway. emril lagasse is the one true God.

i've been looking at this for like half an hour and I can't see anything... :( I had my mom and dad come in to see if they could see it but they got all quiet when I showed it to them. They are talking out in the hall now... oh well, guess I'll keep on looking!

It's photoshopped. Just is. Aint no pancake found by a devout & lonely elderly woman looking for God.

Take a look at it in a graphics application & you'll see it's an animated gif with a blurred transparency of an old-school Jesus illustration. In the animated gif, the frames where the illustration is clearest are only up for a fraction of a second, giving the whole thing the quality of something seen out of the corner of an eye. Clever, really, but obvious with the right tools.

I hope you're not too disappointed, Jonco. If it makes you feel any better, I'm almost positive Agnus MacDougall had nothing to do with it.

Does this picture have a name? Perhaps it should be called the 'Son Of Dog' or SOD for short. Does Angus have a grrrrl-friend? If so, someone should check her out for images of the blessed virgin. No hints on where to start looking.

A friend sent me this. Some of the comments are funnier than the picture itself. What I find most interesting is the fact that many of the Christians are laughing, and many of the others are simply intolerant bigots who paint Christians with broad strokes. It seems Mel Gibson isn't the only religious bigot in the world, and some people don't need to be plied with alcohol first.

Now, excuse me, as I go laugh again.

By the way, Jesus DID appear to me in a Sierra Mist spill. He said, "Yeah, it's kind of like that."

I just looked at my dogs ass. The only thing that appeared was a turd. It doesn't look like a turd but it does sort of look like my uncle Jimmy, who looks a little like Jesus when he hasn't shaved for a few weeks. So I think we're talking a legitimate miracle here.

Thanks for all the comments. Most are very funny. I hope the ones that seemed so serious really weren't. When I first saw the picture, I thought it was hillarious..... considering all the other "visions" of Jesus. It matters not to me if it were Photoshoped... it just made me laugh. ... And that's what I try to share here... things that make you laugh.... or think.I know that there are some people who take offense to different things, but will laugh their butts off at something that is equally bothersome to someone else. I'll probably offend pretty much everyone after a while... but keep in mind that is not my goal here. I only do this to entertain myself and hopefully a few of you.Thanks for the great comments.Jonco

I think the photoshop enhancement is supposed to outline the part of the dog's ass in question - it fades out so you can see the actual "miracle" and the enhanced version. (Like on a discovery channel documentary where they outline a cave painting in red to show you what it's supposed to be, then fade back to the actual painting).

Some coworkers were talking about this and wondered if people had come from miles away to light candles and worship the dog's ass? And the conversation just digressed from there. Photoshop or not, good fodder for cubicle banter.

This is extremely stupid, and far from a miracle. It's a dog's butt, so whether you're a Christian, a Muslim, a Judaist, a Hindu, an atheist, or an agnostic, please, for the sake of rationality, get over it. I'm a rational human being, so I am therefore going to declare those who believe that this is a sign from Jesus Christ as nitwits. Plus, there is no scientific evidence to support the existence of a man named Jesus who had divine/magic powers. Also, evolutionary theory contradicts the biblical creation account, and therefore, indirectly disproves it. Look, I know that there are those who believe that biological change over time through common descent by natural selection is the works of Lucifer, but f.y.i., that is completely unreasonable. I recommend that people be respectful of what honesty has to say about the universe that we all live in. Shouldn't everybody be honest?

I appreciate your creativity but in cast of believers NOT, though my religion is Hindu but we should respect others feelings. You have lots of potential in you and I hope you create more creative work for human peace.

Photoshopped? I don't think so you wishful thinking god-fearers! This is the best likeness of christ I've seen yet! I just wish I owned the dog so I could worship such divinity (yeah, right!). Just laughing everyday at the truth my dog is continually revealing would be all too funny. Not to mention the similarity in contents now emanating from my dogs ass and that which came from christ's mouth. haaaa... love it!

What's so wrong with a dogs ass looking like Jesus Christ? If people feel the need to worship "Him", shouldn't they all be allowed to see "Him" EVERYWHERE, even if it IS up a dogs ass? If it was photoshopped, it probably would have had a Sh%t Beard or something...

This is a clever satire poking fun of those crazy religious people who are so desperate that they see images of jesus/mary/god in random objects, like grilled cheeze sandwiches.

Of course any astute christian properly studying the bible would know that such things would not happen. Indeed as the bible denounces any form of idol worship or any such images such things would not occur. Such fruitless miracles only serve to take advantage of the weak and gullible and misslead christians who don't know better. aka the grilled cheeze sandwich being SOLD to some sucker.

In the bible it mocks the person "feeding on ashes" for worshiping a piece of firewood.(an idol carved of wood) and shows the foolishness of believing in images. God is alive, not an idol, not an image on a piece of toast or oil patch.

This satirical image demonstrates how those seeing such illusions are leading themselves astray, how foolish it is,looking for such signs is likened to worshiping a dog's ass. A true beleiver doesn't fall for such things.

It never fails to amuse me how people attack Christians for being zealots when the worst zealots of all are the Muslims. Now there is a group that truly has no sense of humor. Christians can laugh at this, but tell an Islamic you saw a dog with a picture of the Prophet on its butt...look out.

"Radical Catholicism" is really nothing more than liberation theology in the guise of Catholicism. Most Catholics reject this left-wing political ideology. It's very big in South America, but not really anywhere else. Also, bringing the Crusades into this is ridiculous. Deal with what's happening now.

if you've got something to say about muslims then just say it. don't hide behind your computer-screen-masturbaters club code writing. i mean for fucks sake, your posting annonomously anaway. it's like ur scared because u just saw an image of dog up christs arse or something.....

The bible says there will be a day when EVERY knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess that he is LORD. Whoever made this, I hope for your sake that before you die, you recognize that there is only two possibilities, There is a God, or there is not. Scientifically, even down to one DNA strand, or the intricacy of the eyeball, unless you are a complete fool, you must know God exists. If not, you are blinding yourself for one simple reason. You don't want there to be a God who would tell you how to live your life. You would even go against all commen sense to protect that theory. Here are some free video's that will blow your mind about God. If you think God is not real, the person who made these videos is offering a quarter of a million dollars to prove evelution. If you do not go watch these video's, it will only prove that you are forcfully hiding the facts from yourself so that you can continue living in your own self denile, and do whatever you want until you die, and find yourself in Hell for all eternity wondering why oh why, did I not listen to someone when I was alive? God, and creation by God is scientifically proven in these video's. http://www.drdino.com/downloads.php

Not photoshopped. That's just the hair growth pattern of dogs'--and most mammals--butts. The color of the hair and a little imagination is all you need to complete the picture. And a sense of humor. Grow up and learn to laugh and life's little jokes.

"You simpletons!" she cries. "How long will you go on being simpleminded? How long will you mockers relish your mocking? How long will you fools fight the facts? - Proverbs 1:22

When they were finally tired of mocking him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him again. Then they led him away to be crucified. - Mark 15:20

Now the guards in charge of Jesus began mocking and beating him. - Luke 22:63

Oh, I believe Jesus has a sense of humor, indeed. However what you lack to understand, is that there are certain things to be found funny, and certain things that should not be Mocked. God is one of those not to be mocked things.

if there is a god, (s)he/it probably just won a bet with someone that humans could be made to see jesus anywhere regardless of how freaking rediculous it may be. and you can be sure that (s)he/it is laughing thier etherial ass of right now.

I WONDER IF ALL YOU MOCKERS WILL SAY AND JOKE THE SAME FILTH ON THE DAY YOU MEET YOUR MAKER!ON THAT DAY THERE WILL BE NO LAUGHING ...ONLY TEARS....MAKE YOUR PEACE WITH GOD NOW,WHILE YOU STILL HAVE OPPORTUNITY!

i think it is a matter of how you look at it. if you look at it in respect of it being just a unusual picture and not in a critical way, then it is something that you can pass on to others to see. however if you criticise the Lord, then i have to agree with another viewer that you will some day meet your maker... are you ready for him no matter how you look at him no matter where he appears, you better be looking up, you will be seeing him in the sky,and not on a dogs butt!!!! are you saved? have you ask him into your heart yet? his coming is near!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know if this is some strange joke or strange truth....however and whatever it is I just want to point out that the people on here making harsh jokes about the Lord are going to regret it if they don't seek Him out and get on their knees and repent.....I am fine w/the pic....doesn't bother me what bothers me are the lost souls out there mocking my Lord!!! He is alive....that I can GUARENTEE!!!!

Jesus said: "Split wood, I am there. Lift up a rock, you will find me there."

So lift up a dog's tail - he's there too!

to all the peeps that are bent out of shape about "mocking the Lord" et al - comprehending the infinite and the unconditional love that this universe has for each and every one of us, no matter what club we belong to - and thinking that a "sense of humor" doesn't exist in that capacity - it doesn't make any sense. So go preach your fear and loathing some other place - just make sure you don't harm another entity in the process... that's where the karma comes in and gets ya.

have you ever heard of anal colouring, well this is most deffinately it! This is very inapropriote for traditional christians (as in jesus in paintings and not anals) like me. P.S. Roxy is hot and cool Rock on!

i like this. Not the funniest thing i've ever seen, but still funny. i have Christian friends who would hate this and others who would love this and laugh until they cry (one of whom would then make a remark about becoming like me because of the crying while laughing).

that looks like a white man's image, i have no proof that or or someone you call jesus.

Jesus the Christ has no authentic image I know of that could be likened with this.

Any way there is no need to make or create a false image therefore.

If indeed it does exist and oes look like what you say it does, then that could tatarmount to blaspheme... but so far I think its just another perveted effort to digust those who know not what they worship and to entertain the perveted.....

You guys are dumb, this is just a funny picture of a dogs ass similar to jesus, don't go getting butt hurt because you believe in anything someone tells you even "jesus lives in your dogs ass" personally, religion is rediculous, if god were real, there would be only one religion and others would be counted out to be nothing more than a cult.

with that saidthere wouldn't be a religion in the first place obviously relgion classifies people by group and race anyway meaning, anything you believe in, is fake anyway because if gods were real, you'd be imagicated by this "one god bullshit"

I'd buy Jesus' image on a burrito or on someone's colon x-rays, or in the reflection of a poorly-bent haze of a sheet of plexiglass, or maybe on a burnt piece of toast, or in the dross of a bad weld job, or someone's birthmark, or the leftover ch, wait, that one really hewed remains of a priest's 20 oz. Melbourne steak from Outback Steakhouse... or in the image of every burning building ever photographed, or in a smear of paint from a car's cheap paint job, or on the surface of another planet, or in a statue high on a hill in Rio de Janeiro (oh wait, that one really is supposed to be Jesus.) But on a dog's hind quarters? What savior tattooes himself there? We all know it wasn't an atheist that did it, or even Jesus. It was quite clearly the work of the Easter Bunny.

Lighten up, folks. If god is everywhere, and Christ is part of the holy trinity, you have to accept the dog butt. Now kiss Christ on the cheek and ask forgiveness.

Skeptic Magazine founder Michael Shermer takes us on a hilarious romp through the strange claims we humans put forth as truth - from alien encounters to Virgin Mary sightings on pizza pies, to hidden messages revealed while playing "Stairway to Heaven" backwards - and explains the evolutionary and cognitive basis for these lapses in reason. Don't miss the one-minute challenge testing your own observational skills... Shermer is the founder/publisher of Skeptic Magazine, and author of several books, including Why People Believe Weird Things. (Recorded February 2006 in Monterey, CA. Duration: 17:29)

so who's going to be the first to start worshipping the dog's butt? This could be another relic or idol of worship. Frankly, I'd find it hilarious if the image of Christ was worshipped, especially since it's found in the dog's butt hole. I'm a Christian, and I find it humorous, but only because stuff like this is absurd. Jesus' face in a dog's butt hole. What kind of God do people think he is? Definitely one with a sense of humor.

It's sad as all hell that believers will see the son of god in a piece of toast or a pattern in wallpaper but not this becuase it "might" be offensive? LMFAO pathetic. God can't have a sense of humour? I think it's fun and get your bible outta your butt (pardon the pun) to see it!
